This isn't the most artfully made documentary... But eventually it sneaks up on you.

Jude Dry

indieWire

While a few characters are as colorful as one would imagine, most are simply hard-working entrepreneurs trying to stay afloat. The feminist film does their stories justice through an empathetic if disappointingly dry lens.

Rated: C+

Film Threat

The film reassured me that cannabis needs to be legalized in every state because of how beneficial it is. Much like this documentary, marijuana holds far more positives than negatives.

Rated: 8/10

Russo demonstrates that marijuana is a homegrown industry built upon the compassion of others something threatened to be lost in its commercialization.

While the doc can be somewhat choppy at times and repetitive, we do end up rooting for these ladies.
